2021 Preakness Stakes Trivia Challenge

5/14/2021

3 Comments

 
Time again for the annual five-part Preakness trivia challenge! Can you come up with all five answers by the Preakness post time tomorrow? All answers can be found on the American Classic Pedigrees website.

1) What Preakness Stakes winner was defeated by the greatest margin in the Kentucky Derby?

2) This Preakness winner got his career off to a most inauspicious start as he failed to finish in his first race and was vanned off. Who was he?  

3) This horse didn't win the Preakness, but he got a lot of attention as a Preakness starter because he was co-owned by a former U.S. President. Name the horse and his famous owner, the year in which he ran, and where he finished.

4) What Preakness Stakes winner later distinguished himself by winning an American Horse of the Year title on fewer starts during his championship season than any other winner of American racing's highest honor?

5) This Preakness winner had an unusual career at stud after initially retiring to the breeding shed following an injury at age 5. He was back in training two months after his initial retirement to stud had been announced and ran in claiming races, and for two years after that interspersed racing activity with short stints of stud duty. At age 13, he was sold for US$400 but does not appear to have sired any more registered foals after this sale. Who was he?

Both of you are right as far as you went. The answers to the other questions are 1) Louis Quatorze, who was beaten over 23 lengths when he ran 16th in the 1996 Derby, 4) Native Dancer, who made just 3 starts when he was HOY in 1954, a record since voting for year-end honors began, and 5) 1918 Preakness winner Jack Hare Jr.
